Two Games on Sunday

Portfolio: $803 (-12.8% return)
S&P 500: $1103 (19.8% return)

Today's Games

Tampa Bay (-160) @ Cleveland (+140)
San Francisco (-150) @ Arizona (+130)

In the first game Wade Davis is matched up against Justin Masterson. Davis has been rock solid as of late going 2-0 with a 1.80 ERA in his last 2 starts. He has showed great control, but is getting a little lucky on his hit rate and he is also not striking out too many. I don't think he'll continue to pitch this good. Masterson has had a bad year, but he has had flashes of turning the corner. If he keeps the ball in the strike zone he is really hard to hit. The Indians are playing really well right now and the team is just out there having fun. I can not say the same about the Rays regarding the fun part. I think the overall team confidence will help Masterson today and I like the Indians as the dog.

In the second game Giants ace Tim Lincecum is matched up against rookie Barry Enright. Lincecum really struggled in his last start, but I do not see that continuing. His indicators are all down a little this year, but he is still one of the top pitchers. He'll eventually work through it. The Diamondbacks could not have asked for more from Enright, who they called up from Double A last month, as he has gone 2-2 with a 2.66 ERA. His indicators were really solid in Double A and he has carried those over to the majors, but with him being 24 years old straight out of Double A I would expect him to hit a rough patch soon. And what better time than against a hot Giants team with a two time CY Young winner on the mound? I like the Giants in a max bet.

Bets

$10 CLE +140
$30 SF -150
